New YORK, May A. Herman, the magi-
clan, is a great practical joker. He is now
exhibiting in Brooklyn. Going home In q
street car last night be quietly placed the
watch and diamonds of sundry passengers
in each others possession. Three people
missed their property and had Herman
arrested. At the police station he re-
vealed his identity, and requested that the
co%mplainants be searched, which was
done. One mans watch was discovered
ia his friends pocket. while the latter's
diamond was found under the lapel Of his
own coat. A young lady's watch was in
the coattail pocket OF the policeman who
made the arrest. Herman protested that
the affair was a practical joke. The charges
of robbery were Withdrawn.

VIENNA, May 9.-The fire at Macy Karolin
was caused by the terrible storm of wind
which carried sparks to distant w%oodyards
and set fire to them. Altogether 400
houses were destroyed and 5.GC0 people
deprived Of homes, who are camping in
the open air. Since the recent fire at
Eperis many inmates of the convent and
school have been missing. At the time of
the fire several girls were killed by jump
ing from the windows.
LONDON, May "a fatal duel was
fought at Pesth on Saturday by two stu
dents. The weapons were pistols. One
of the combatants was shot dead, the ball
passing through his liver.
VIENNA, May 9.-Professor Falb. who
has made several sensational seismic fore
casts, publishes an article to-day, in which
he assumes that Tucson was the center Of
the disturbances of May 8. He thinks
these earthquakes aud the disturbances in
Italy. and the mine explosion at Van
Couver, were due to general causes. The
reported volcanic eruptions, he believes,
were upheavels, and he thinks there will
be disturbances again on August 8 and II,
and October 8 and l6, but does not say
where they will occur.
DUBLIN, May 9.-In the case of John
Dillon against Police Inspectors O'Brien
and Davis, for assault aud illegal seizure
Of money and papers at Loughres, the
Court of Queens Bench has a~djudged
that the conduct of the police was lawful.
1t will be remembered that Dillon and
other mem bers of the League were closeted
in a room in the hotel at Loughrea, taking
and receipting for moneys paid them as
Trustees by tenants under the Plan OF
Campaign. The police. without warning.
broke into the room, and by force took
from Dillon the money and papers he had
in his possession at the time. Dillon a;
once had the Inspectors, who were re.
sponsible, arrested, plaintiff taking the
ground that he was not violating any law,
and that the action of the police was an
assault unwarranted and illegal.
HAvRE. May 9.-It is now stated that
the reports of the loss of life among the
emigrants on the French steamer La
Champagne were exaggerated. Less than
q dozen emigrsnts were drowned.
LONDON. May 9.-Ssmuel Cousins, r.

A F%renchman, in France, who calls
himself "L'Homme.Protee," or the pro.
team man. is giving exhibitions OF himself
in that country, and excites the admira-
tion of the spectators by the great variety
of shapes he can assume. He can, it is
said, become as rigid as a statue, and
when struck in this condition, the blows
fall on him as on q block of stone. He
can assume the rotuDdity OF the proven
bal alderman, or have q lean and hungry
look like Cassius. 1t is even stated that
he can make himself appear as a skeleton.
The Medical Abstract says he was exam
ined by NJ. de Quartrefages. who was as
tonished at his ability to stop the flow OF
blood either on the right or left side OF the
body. This was ascribed TO the influence
of unilateral, muscular contraction.

Chill is going to initiate the United
States in the matter Of constructing
trans. continental railways, and has made
liberal concessions in favor of two lines
that will extend from the Pacific coast
of Chill to ports on the Atlantic side
within the Argentine Confederation.
The lines will parallel each other at a
distance of 300 miles apart, and are ex.
pected to be the means of developing
the great u of the country to be

Slang In the Restaurant.

Men who write books about slang might
find material in some restaurants. In
Kansas City there is an abundance OF it.
Only in one place in ST. Louis-on Morgan
street-can you hear downright slang in
the giving of the orders, and curious it is.
If you tell the waiter you want an oyster
stew, he shouts in the Kitchen: Jesse
James !" A beefsteak becomes slaughter
in a PAM" plain. black coffee is "coffee in
the dark; potatoes uupeeled are :" Muir
ply with his coat on;" two eggs fried on

A scientific writer says: "Sleep. if
taken at the right moment, will prevent
an attack of nervous headache. If the
subject OF such headache will watch the
symptoms coming, they can notice that
it begins with a feeling of WEAKNESS or
heaviness. This is the time a sleep Of
an hour, or even two, as nature guides,
will effectually prevent headache. If
not taken just then, it will be too late.
for, after the attack is fully under way,
it is impossible to get sleep until far into
the night, perhaps. 1t is SO common in
these days for doctors to forbid having
their patients walked to take medicine if
they are asleep when the hour comes
round. that the people have learned the
lesson pretty well, and they generally
know that sleep is better for the sick
than medicine. But it is not SO we'll
known that sleep is a wonderful pre-.
tentative of disease-better than tonic
regulators and stimulants."

WINE.

One of the San Francisco Bulletins
subscribers calls upon the wine makers
of California to make unfermented wine,
in the following strong language:
Gentlemen: Believing that you are
not blind to the best interests of your
kind, and recognizing the great and
growing wine interests in the State, and
also the great and growing temperance
army, who need some safe, pleasant. I'M
alcoholic drink for the table, and a
healthy beverage, / seek to bring this
want and supply together. For this pur-
pose / ask you to put up some unfer-
mented wine-that is, the pure juice OF
the grape, with no deleterious substance
in it. Having all the facilities, you are
the proper persons to experiment in this
direction. The article sought will be
found. Demand and supply always keep
company. Suppose you try some OF the
methods already used by private fami-
lies, uutil bUuuc UcbtCI ways eS .
cred. One of these methods is pasteur-
Using the juice by heating to l6O degrees
and keeping it there for some time; then
iltering or straining it, and again heat
ing to l60 degrees before bottling. 1t
should be put in the bottles hot. To be
sure Of killing all the germs, the bottles
may be washed out with salicylic acid,
and the corks to be thoroughly disln.
fected, may, when closing the bottles.
be taken from a hot salicylic solution.
No salicylic acid should ever be put in
the wine, as it's use is opposed to the
healthy action of the stomach in the pro-
cess of digestion.
The reward offered to him who shall
discover the best method of preserving
unfermented wine is a fortune for him
self and an everlasting benefaction Of
mankind.

The judicial system wrong.

In San Francisco q broken-down old
man was dragged out of q dungeon in
which he had lain a little over five years,
to be tried for murder. He went in q
vigorous and healthy man of middle age,
and he came out q gray and lettering
wreck. He had been three times brought
to trial before. and once he was con victed
of murder in the first degree, the juries in
the other cases disagreeing. 1t is folly to
pretend there is nothing wrong In the
judicial system which permits such delay
as this.
